Bears' Rome Odunze Active for Divisional Game vs. Rams After Questionable Tag

He plays through a foot stress fracture following limited work early in the week and a full practice on Friday.

Overview

  • Odunze is active and on the field against Los Angeles after entering the day listed as questionable with a foot injury.
  • He did not record a catch on Chicago's opening drive, though he was targeted on the first series.
  • The rookie missed the final five regular-season games and returned in the wild-card win, logging roughly 70% of snaps with a pivotal fourth-down grab.
  • His week featured two limited practices before a full session, and he publicly said he expected to play despite lingering soreness.
  • If his role is managed, the Bears can lean on other pass catchers such as D.J. Moore and tight end Colston Loveland, with the game airing on NBC and Peacock.
